So you want to be a tornado chaser? You want to run with the thrill-seekers, outwit Mother Nature, feel the rush and capture the moment for a viral web page. You want bragging rights with the kids and to rekindle the admiration in your spouse’s eyes. Well, we have just what you need: tornado lessons! This presentation will show you what you are up against – the nature of the beast itself, the thunderstorm types that spawn the funnels, the meteorological conditions that grow the storms and, to make sure you really want to do this, a discussion of the hazards and outright dangers. If you are still game, this discussion will show you how to get there and what to do when you arrive.
